A sample of 4.1 mol O2 (Cop,m = 29.355 J K-1 mol-1) is originally confined in 32 dm3 at 270 K and then undergoes adiabatic expansion against a constant pressure of 600 Torr until the volume has increased by a factor of 3.0. Calculate q, w, ΔU, ΔT, and ΔH. (The final pressure of the gas is not necessarily 600 Torr.)

Many biological electron transfer reactions, such as those associated with biological energy conversion, may be visualized as arising from electron tunnelling between protein-bound co-factors, such as cytochromes, quinones, flavins, and chlorophylls. This tunnelling occurs over distances that are often greater than 1.0 nm, with sections of protein separating the electron donor from acceptor. For a specific combination of donor and acceptor, the rate of electron tunnelling is proportional to the transmission probability, with κ 7 nm-1 (Use the equations given below.). By what factor does the rate of electron tunnelling between two co-factors increase as the distance between them changes from 2.0 nm to 1.7 nm?
T = text({)1+ ( \(e^(kappaL)-e^(-kappaL)\) ^2 )/ (16 epsilon \(1-epsilon\))text(})

T ~= 16 epsilon (1-epsilon)e^(-2kappaL)

Stern-Gerlach splittings of atomic beams are small and require either large magnetic field gradients or long magnets for their observation. For a beam of atoms with zero orbital angular momentum, such as H or Ag, the deflection is given by x = ±(μBL2/4EK)dB/dz, where μB is the Bohr magneton, L is the length of the magnet, EK is the average kinetic energy of the atoms in the beam, and dB/dz is the magnetic field gradient across the beam.
(a) Use the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution to show that the average translational kinetic energy of the atoms emerging as a beam from a pinhole in an oven at temperature T is 2kT. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)

(b) Calculate the magnetic field gradient required to produce a splitting of 1.12 mm in a beam of Ag atoms from an oven at 1000 K with a magnet of length 42 cm.
